This article is about a set that was just released.
Some information may change as more facts become known.

Description

2012 Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects is a proposed 55-card set (supplemented by a 165 card Draft Picks "insert" set) tentatively scheduled for release November 28th, 2012. BDP&P will follow a similar format as in previous year's product; however, for the first time, will be available in the popular HTA-exclusive jumbo pack format. Also, for the first time since the mid-2000s, BDP&P will be released exclusive to Hobby outlets.

Each Wax box will contain one Autographed Chrome Card, and HTA boxes three.

As of August 23, 2012, Topps is forcing distributors to buy six hobby cases for every jumbo case they buy. Most likely this will lead to an increase in price for Jumbo cases and boxes.

Distribution

Wax: 24 packs per box, seven cards per pack (MSRP: $4). 12 boxes per case.

HTA: 12 packs per box, 32 cards per pack (MSRP: $10). Eight boxes per case.
